Be part of the Million Orchid Project! You can help restore rare Florida orchids in your own backyard trees. Orchids are cultivated from seed at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.

Oncidium ensatum, or 'Florida Oncidium' is a native terrestrial orchid that grows in densely shaded hammocks and dry grassy, rocky slopes. It can also be partially epiphytic, growing within debris on the bases of trees. It is distributed in tropical America, the Bahamas and extends into southern Florida. (Pot size: 4")
